Securing Your Zoom Meetings

April 9, 2020

Zoom is the de facto standard in online meetings and is a powerful collaboration tool enabling you can meet effortlessly with your colleagues face to face in HD quality video and share screens with ease. Setting up a meeting takes one click.

Zoom is being used in a much broader array of scenarios now and the open collaboration platform isn’t always ideal in all those situations. Security concerns have arisen and Zoom has responded by making it easier to utilize security functionality that puts you in control of your meetings.

When setting-up and conducting meetings on Zoom, this checklist will help you keep your meetings safe and secure.

Never share your Zoom meeting IDs publicly. This can open your Zoom meetings up to unwanted attendees who might hijack your meeting.

Use a meeting password. This is now enabled by default for newly scheduled meetings.
